I don't believe so. Once Dynamic Update is enabled for a zone, then
named "owns" the zone file and writes whatever it wants to it, whenever
it wants, which is probably going to wipe out your $GENERATEs and/or
$INCLUDEs.
Use nsupdate or some other Dynamic Update client to maintain the zone's
"manual" data. If the data in your $GENERATEs and/or $INCLUDEs are
static, then you just issue the relevant nsupdate commands one time to
achieve the same result. If, on the other hand, your $GENERATE/$INCLUDE
data tend to change fairly often, then you'd be wise to insert some
scripted nsupdates into your change process.
